loasWtls, II, z5-The revolving de-
tails ofthe Confession of the negro Albert
Turner, in the case OF the girl Jennie Bow.
man, who wss 60 brutslly assaulted by
the negro burglars at midday last Thurs.
day, has aroused the indignation of this
community to degree unparalleled ell.
most in its hiatory.
Turner's confession implicated another
negro named Bill Patterson, who had
been arrested on suspicion and the
authorities have taken him to Frankfort
in order to eecape the mob. So terribly
incensed arc the people that there Is dan
ger Of a mob proceeding to Frankfort and
stringing up the brutcs there.
When Turner identified Patterson at
the Frankfort prison, last night, the latter
made spring at his throat and endeayor.
ed to choke him to death. 1t took Eye or
six men to part the negroes. The proof
against them is overwhelming and conclu.
sive, and had thsy not been taken to
Frankfort they would have undoubtedly
have atonod for their crime at the handa
Of Judge Lynch.
The latest report from Frankfort states
that tho Governor will issue an order al.
lowing the negroes to be confined tempo.
rarily in The peniten.iary, where they will
be absolutely secure from violence.

hnsc Ball In Our Alley,

The Galley Loungers" played O brilliant
game Of ball in Concrete Park bsck Of the
lNTELLlGENcRx office yesterday afternoon,
with the "Curbstone Loafers," which was
witnessed by an ssppreciative audience OF
two, not including 4 disabled dray. The
team consisted Of young Mike Kellys,
Glasecocks, McCormicks and other lesser
lights OF the base ball world. The catcher
wore a last seasons strawberry basket
with a false bottom for maak, and an
Italian rug Of tho vintage OF 1854 for q
stomach protector. The home plate yas

the late cyclone. First base was the back

ment, while tho ruined boot leg OF an up-
known millionaire served "a tho second
bag, and when the runner wanted to steal
third his goal was a mute and stolid hitch
ing poat.
The game commenced with the familiar
war cry Of the Green Stockings when
starting ont on the war path, "p.l.a.y
ball." There was notable absence o.
cat calls, as "go it, you old pie.wsson."
Instead was heard the musical Italian
creecendo, "slide, you slippery orange
peei"; or, "roast that peanut, now"
The game was conducted with marked
ability on the part OF the catcher who was
umpire, scorer and coacher, and who
never allowed boy to do anything he
didn't want him to do. The only home
run made was when the ball ssuck be.
tween the bars Of one OF N. Schu'z's dis.
carded orange boxes, at which even the
disabled dray swayed up and down in a
tremor Of delight, and the otoIid hitchinc

seen to griu-and bear it. Tho next game
